The
Forgery Flap,
by Ray McGovern

"Equally
important, it was Cheney who launched (in a major
speech on August 26, 2002) the concerted campaign
to persuade Congress and the American people that
Saddam Hussein was about to get his hands on nuclear
weapons‹a campaign that mushroomed, literally, in
early October with you and your senior advisers
raising the specter of a ³mushroom cloud² being
the first ³smoking gun² we might observe.

Rivals
Say Halliburton Dominates Iraq Oil Work,
by NEELA BANERJEE
August 8, 2003, The New York Times
"A
transcript of the July meeting shows that bidders
were concerned even then that Halliburton would
have a competitive advantage over other companies
because it was already working with the Corps of
Engineers in Iraq and helping to assess the repairs
needed at oil production sites and pipelines after
the war and years of an economic embargo."

Halliburton
Profits Skyrocket on Iraqi Deals,
by Sheila McNulty in Houston
August 8, 2003, The Financial Times
"Halliburton,
the second biggest oilfield service company in the
world, on Thursday said work in Iraq had boosted
revenue as it swung from a loss to record second-quarter
net income of $26m , or 6 cents a share, compared
with the year-earlier period."

Questions
on Halliburton Deal Under Cheney,
by JEFF GERTH and RICHARD W. STEVENSON
August 1, 2002, The New York Times
"At
issue now is whether Halliburton under Mr. Cheney
was aggressive enough in investigating the asbestos
liabilities it was taking on in acquiring Dresser,
and whether it adequately informed shareholders
of the risks at the time they were asked to approve
the deal."

Halliburton's
Deals Greater Than Thoughtby
Michael Dobbs, Washington Post Staff Writer
August 28, 2003
"Halliburton, the company formerly headed by
Vice President Cheney, has won contracts worth more
than $1.7 billion under Operation Iraqi Freedom
and stands to make hundreds of millions more dollars
under a no-bid contract awarded by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, according to newly available
documents."

'Thieves
Like Us' - Cheney's Backdoor To Halliburton,
by
Chris Floyd October
24, 2003, The
Moscow Times"Let's
begin by following the money from the mounting pile
of dead bodies in Iraq to the silk lining of Dick
Cheney's trouser pockets. This month the mainstream
American press woke up to the long-established fact
that Cheney is still receiving oodles of boodle
in "deferred compensation" from his old
firm, Halliburton, which just happens to be the
biggest gorger at the Iraqi trough."

Will
the French Indict Cheney? by
Doug Ireland December
29, 2003, The
Nation"Yet
another sordid chapter in the murky annals of Halliburton
might well lead to the indictment of Dick Cheney
by a French court on charges of bribery, money-laundering
and misuse of corporate assets."

Dick
Cheney, Commander in Chief,
by Jim Lobe October
27, 2003, Alternet
"The image of the president of the United States
as a tame horse, saddled up and ridden by his own
vice president, may seem overblown, but Biden is
not alone in his assessment of the White House's
internal dynamics. When it comes to foreign policy,
Cheney is increasingly seen as holding the reins
in the power circles within Washington."

Halliburton
May Have Overcharged Millions
by MATT KELLEY, Associated Press WriterDecember
12, 2003, Associated
Press
"A Pentagon audit has found Vice President
Dick Cheney's former company may have overcharged
the Army by $1.09 per gallon for nearly 57 million
gallons of gasoline delivered to citizens in Iraq,
senior defense officials say."

The
Halliburton Shuffle,
by BOB HERBERT January
30, 2004, New
York Times
"But if you go through some of Halliburton's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
over the past several years, as I have, you'll see
a company that goes to great lengths - literally
to the ends of the earth - to escape paying its
fair share of taxes to the government that has been
so good to it."

HALLIBURTON'S
BUILT-IN GOUGE,
by Jim Hightower
January 5, 2004
"But here comes the real stinker: Halliburton's
contract from the Bushites actually gives the company
an incentive to overcharge us taxpayers. It guarantees
a profit to Halliburton of between two and seven
percent of its costs ­ meaning that the more cost
it can put into each gallon, the more profit Halliburton
gets."

on Rense.com
"With the announcement by Sen. Jay Rockefeller
(D-W.V.) that he had obtained a pledge from Senate

process, "Cheney-gate'' has moved into an intensive
new phase."

VP
Cheney Helped Cover-Up Pakistani Nuclear Proliferation
In '89 So US Could Sell Country Fighter Jets,
by Jason LeopoldMarch
8, 2004, Scoop
News "Bush,
Vice President Dick Cheney and top members of the
administration reacted with shock when they found
out that Abdul Qadeer Khan, Pakistan's top nuclear
scientist, spent the past 15 years selling outlaw
nations nuclear technology and equipment. So it
was sort of a surprise when Bush, upon finding out
about Khan's proliferation of nuclear technology,
let Pakistan off with a slap on the wrist. But it
was all an act. In fact, it was actually a cover-up
designed to shield Cheney because he knew about
the proliferation for more than a decade and did
nothing to stop it."

Cheney
coordinated Halliburton Iraq contractMay

Pentagon e-mail said Vice President Dick Cheney
coordinated a huge Halliburton government contract

the company he ran until 2000."

International Herald Tribune,

practices when Dick Cheney, now the U.S. vice president,
was its chief executive officer, the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission said on Tuesday as it fined
the company $7.5 million and brought actions against
two former officials."

Cheney
and HAL
by William Greider, The
Nation,
June 22, 2006
"A rather different story is told by a class-action
investor lawsuit against Halliburton, recently revived
after languishing for four years. It describes Cheney
as not much different from other corporate titans
ensnared by accusations of fraud. Brushing aside
facts and subordinates' warnings, CEO Cheney made
a series of daring but wrong decisions that were
disastrous for the company."

"Just past the Oval Office, in the private
dining room overlooking the South Lawn, Vice President
Cheney joined President Bush at a round parquet
table they shared once a week. Cheney brought a
four-page text, written in strict secrecy by his
lawyer. He carried it back out with him after lunch."

Pushing
the Envelop on Presidential Powerby Barton Gellman and Jo Becker,

Post ,

"Shortly after the first accused terrorists
reached the U.S. naval prison at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, on Jan. 11, 2002, a delegation from CIA headquarters
arrived in the Situation Room. The agency presented
a delicate problem to White House counsel Alberto
R. Gonzales, a man with next to no experience on
the subject. Vice President Cheney's lawyer, who
had a great deal of experience, sat nearby."

Valley Airport in West Virginia on Feb. 6, 2003,
carrying Vice President Cheney to the annual retreat
of Republican House and Senate leaders. He had come
to sell them on the economic centerpiece of President
Bush's first term: a $674 billion tax cut."
